Safety Brakes for Tools Machines are devices which slows down and stops the motion of a rotating shaft within a certain time, depending on the entity of the mass to be braked.

MWM Safety Brakes are:

• Multiple disc (or multidisc): designed mainly for use in oil baths or low/medium speed dry applications;
• Single disc: used only dry;
• Caliper brakes: when the mass to be braked requires large discs; the modular versions have one or more calipers operated simultaneously or separately.

Safety Brakes for Tools Machines‘ control can be Manual, Hydraulic, Pneumatic or Electromagnetic.

They can operate in two different ways:

• Spring released: when the control generates the necessary braking effect;
• Spring applied: when braking is achieved without control, which causes the brake to disengage. These are mainly used as safety or holding brakes.
